Malaysian diver inadvertently had the best belly flop of the Olympics

Malaysian diver Ahmad Amsyar Azman did not receive a zero for what turned out to be one of the worst dives of the Olympics, but he maybe should have.

On Tuesday, Azman went to complete his final dive of the men's 3-meter springboard preliminary. He sat in 12th place out of 29 divers, with 18 qualifying for the semifinal.

Then he did this:

Watching the replay, you can tell that Azman's entire form is off from the moment he begins his routine. He makes a valiant effort to go through with his dive, though the resulting belly flop will likely haunt him for some time.

Azman is not the first we've seen make a mess of their dive in Rio. Russian diver Nadezhda Bazhina, also on the 3-meter springboard, landed flat on her feet on one dive for a shocking score of 0.0.

Azman's dive looked worse than Bazhina's, and the splash was certainly bigger. But apparently in Olympic diving, a belly flop will still give you some points.
